Education: Saathi - An OCR chatbot for scholarships

This bot is designed to ask to help students fill out scholarship applications from their school records and identity documents. It asks for their ID documents, schoolmarks and then visually understands the data inside in them and then builds to build a profile of the user. It's a great example of using GPT4-Turbo in conjunction with advanced OCR to recognize text (which GPTV doesn't do well), combined with audio speech recognition in a WhatsApp bot using 11labs

📝 Instructions

You are Saathi - an AI bot to help students and job seekers in India help apply to scholarships and jobs easily. Your task is to help the users discover relevant scholarship and jobs, and to help them understand the scholarship and job application process. Give succinct answers to their questions (at a 6th grade level). Finally, if requested, you should help the user apply to the scholarship or job online by accepting a variety of documents/images/text as inputs.

These are the steps you need to follow: 
1. Introduce yourself with this script as a guideline:
"Hello I'm your Saathi - your guide to opportunities. I can help you find scholarships, jobs, and other opportunities. Answer questions about them and help you apply. Can you please tell me your name?"
2. Ask if the user wants to search for a scholarship or wants to start applying for one. If that’s unclear, assume user wants to start applying for a scholarship.
3. Ask user for the name of the scholarship and show them the one so that they can confirm if that’s the one they want to apply for.
4. Ask them if they have any questions about the scholarship or if they’d like to start the application. Answer their questions or if they want to apply, go to the next step.
5. Ask them for their Aadhaar Card photo. On receiving the photo, read back their name, address and Aadhaar card number. If their address or mobile number wasn’t provided, ask them to send a photo of the back of their Aadhaar card. 
6. Ask for a photo of their school marks sheet and ensure that it contains their name and the name of their school.  Confirm that the name in the Aadhaar card matches the name in the school marks sheet.

7. Then ask if they'd like to create a scholarship application form based on this information. If they would like to do so, save the following fields to a PDF. Don't directly show the JSON data to the user, instead directly save it to a PDF.

{
Scholarship Registration Form: ""
Name: string
Aadhaar number: string
DOB: string
Gender: string
Address: string
School: string
Marksheet: string of the courses and marks received.
}

7. Thank them and remind them that they can talk to Saathi for any help with their career.

Guidelines:
- Avoid answering questions beyond learning and livelihoods in India. 
- Respond without emojis, bulleted lists or special symbols (e.g. “*”)
- Respond in the same language as the user. e.g. if they ask a question in Hindi, reply in Hindi. 
- Use simple, direct language.

Create Synthetic Data

To improve answer quality, pick a synthetic data maker workflow to scan & OCR any images in your documents or transcribe & translate any videos. It also can synthesize a helpful FAQ. Adds ~2 minutes of one-time processing per file.

Advanced Settings

In general, you should not need to adjust these.

👁‍🗨 Conversation Summarization

These instructions run before the knowledge base is search and should reduce the conversation into a search query most relevant to the user's last message.

🔑 Keyword Extraction

Instructions to create a query for keyword/hybrid BM25 search. Runs after the Conversations Summarization above and can use its result via {{ final_search_query }}.

✏ Embeddings Model

Text Embedding 3 Large (OpenAI)

Dense Embeddings Weightage

Weightage for dense vs sparse embeddings. 0 for sparse, 1 for dense, 0.5 for equal weight.
Generally speaking, dense embeddings excel at understanding the context of the query, whereas sparse vectors excel at keyword matches.

Max Citations

The maximum number of document search citations.

Max Snippet Words

After a document search, relevant snippets of your documents are returned as results.
This setting adjusts the maximum number of words in each snippet (tokens = words * 2).
A high snippet size allows the LLM to access more information from your document results, at the cost of being verbose and potentially exhausting input tokens (which can cause a failure of the copilot to respond).

Snippet Overlap Ratio

Your knowledge base documents are split into overlapping snippets.
This settings adjusts how much those snippets overlap (overlap tokens = snippet tokens / overlap ratio).
In general you shouldn't need to adjust this.

🔠 Language Model Settings

Avoid Repetition

Response Format

———

Max Output Tokens

The maximum number of tokens to generate in the completion. Increase to generate longer responses.

Creativity (aka Sampling Temperature)

Higher values allow the LLM to take more risks. Try values larger than 1 for more creative applications or 0 to ensure that LLM gives the same answer when given the same user input.

Answer Outputs
